Reinstalling IE on XP
I was trying to reload Internet Explorer on a computer with Windows XP Home Edition and it was just a big pain in the butt. I found various sites with the solution of modifying the registry key for Microsoft Active Setup \ Installed Components, so you could then download and reinstall IE 6 from microsofts web site. This did not work for me. I got a message about half way through the install saying "This install can not continue because the install is not using dll's that have ben certified by microsoft."
Can you imagine that? Microsofts own IE6 download from Microsofts own site is rejected because it is not properly certified? Bizarre.
I think the only solution in this case is going to be a wipe & load.
